In his defense, Williamson had just participated in one of the show’s popular segments involving food cooked by local chefs. Fans of the morning team know Williamson is not shy about trying the occasionally exotic dishes served on the show.

“I'm surprised that's never happened to you before with as much food as we eat on this show," Tapases said before pointing out that Williamson never said “excuse me.”
